BOTTLE-MOLD.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SETH E. GILL, a citi- Zen of the United States,residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, havevinvented new and useful Improvements in Bottle-Molds, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to bottle molds and devices for making bottlesespecially of that class where indents are necessary within the neck ofsame to provide means for securing therein metallic linings, as will bemore fully described in the following specification, set forth in theclaim and illustrated in the drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the mold closed. Fig. 2 is asimilar view showing the mold open and the parts thrown back. Fig. 3 isa front view of the upper hinged portion of the mold. F 4 is a sideelevation of the neck former. Fig. 5 is a front view of same.

The mold is composed of the two sections 10 and 11, the latter beingmounted on the pedestal 12 by means of the pivot 13 which enters asocket in the pedestal while the sec tion 10 is hinged by means of a pin14 and the two sections are locked together by means of hooks 15 at oneor both sides of the mold.

In the initial operation of the mold the same is preferably heated so asto heat the water to a suflcient extent to prevent the mold frombecoming cool before the glass is poured. It will of course beunderstood that the hot glass will heat the water and cause the same toremain sufficiently hot to prevent the mold sections from becoming coolwhile the mold is in operation.

At one side of the permanent section 11 a pulley 17 is mounted and overwhich passes a cord 18 which is connected to the section 10 by means ofa stud 19, the other end of the cord being secured to the lever 2O sothat on depressing this lever the sections are closed and the hook 15latched in order to hold them together for the forming of a bottle.

This invention is especially adapted for forming notches in the insideof the neck of the bottle and this is accomplished by means of certainparts mounted in a hinged extension 21 carried by the bracket 22 at theupper end of the permanent section 11, the extension having a nose 23which isl adapted to it beneath the hook 24 so as to l Specification ofLetters Patent.

lock it in the position shown in Fig. 1 while the bottle is beingoperated on. After the bottle is molded and the glass is still in itsplastic state the extension 21 is closed down and a sheet metal box 25,rectangular in cross section is inserted in the neck of the bottle andforced down into same, crowding the surplus glass into the groove 26 atthe upper end of the mold sections. At the same time, a yoke 27 which iscarried in brackets 28 at each side of the extension 21 is forced downupon the upper end of the neck beveling it and producing a correct shapefor thesame. Within the box 25 is a plunger 29 lhaving at its lower endtwo tongues 30 which may be withdrawn within the box or forced outwardfrom its sides and these tongues are carried by means of a pivot 31which plays in slots 32 in the sides of the box. The upper end of thebox 25 has inwardly extending lugs 33 and this end of the box straddlesa lever 34 hinged to the front end of the extension 21 and the lugs 33play in a slot 35 in the webbed portion of this lever and while thelever occupies an upright position the box is at rest but as the leveris forced backward, the lugs are crowded down the inclined sides of theslot and finally pass into the angular extension 36. In the upper end ofthe extension 36 is a pin 37 which when the lever occupies the positionsho-wn in Fig. 1, comes in contact with the upper end of the plunger 29and forces it downward and the tongues 30 outward. This operation isperformed after the bottle is finished and the neck is about to becompleted when the box is forced into the neck and the flat lower end 38of the yoke 27 caused to compress the glass within the neck. This isfirst accomplished and finally the plunger is forced downward causingthe tongues to form the indents within the interior of the neck. It isobvious that this device need not be confined to this special operationbut that such a combination of details may be useful to constructcertain grooves, indents or other forms within the neck of a bottle andthe whole may be done by a simple operation and by a comparatively cheapmachine.

It is obvious that the parts may be otherwise constructed withoutdeparting from the essential features above described.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

In a bottle mold, the combination with a niold made of two Sectionshinged with relation to each other, of means for Closing and locking thesections, a hinged extension on one 0i the sections, :1 latch for theeX- tension, :1 former playing through the eX- tension and adapted toenter the neel; of the bottle, n plunger eaiiied within the former,tongues at the lower end of the plunger and adapted to extend beyond thesides of the i:ornier7 a lever with a Slot carried by the 10 extensionand adapted t0 force the former downward and spread the tongues outward.

In testi1n0ny whereof l affix iny Signature in presence oi' twowitnesses.
